This is the
series that truly peaked my interest in the Star Trek world. I enjoyed the original series
a great deal, however I found these new characters and situations even more interesting
and challenging. I especially liked the choice of Patrick Stuart (a Shakespearian actor)
as the captain of the Enterprise-D. I also liked the diversity of the characters such as
Worf, Troi, and Data. These characters added very special traits to the mix of situations
presented in the show.

As always, this
series kept alive the tradition of characters over science. This series also advanced the
interest in science because it seems much more reality was placed in the scientific
aspects of the episodes. It can still be overwhelming to listen to
"technobabble," but I found it much more interesting and actually heard some
terms that applied today and that I understood.

I must also say,
I think this is where the women of Star Trek became extremely attractive. I don't know too
many fans that I have met that don't like Troi and Crusher. Not only are they good
looking, they are intelligent, responsible and funny.
